Life has dealt a heavy hand to a weak demigod like me.

What he had just seen spoke louder than any words.

That smile... was the most beautiful and happiest smile he had ever seen.

If he had replaced that guy, he might never have seen that smile on the little white flower's face.

All the selfish thoughts in his heart disappeared, and he couldn't help but hit the wall next to him with his head.

"That's all right... That's all right..." Floyds held his toy bear and couldn't help shedding tears. He then stood up and punched his cheek hard.

"Floyce...don't have any inappropriate thoughts..." At that moment, many thoughts that made him feel scared came into his mind.

If you're facing other people, this idea is nothing.

But facing Mernadette.

He just didn't want to show that side of himself in front of her.

"Woo woo...little white flower...you must always be happy..."

"If that guy dares to bully you, I will definitely stuff his head into the flowers behind him."

After Mernadette and Charles completely disappeared from his sight, many images emerged in Floyd's mind.

There was the scene where he collapsed in front of Mernadette, covered in blood, and saw her eyes, which showed no fear, disgust, or hatred, but only worry and tenderness. There was the scene where he lay at the entrance of the orphanage with Mernadette covering him with a blanket. There was the scene where he returned there with an extra "eave" to protect his head from the rain...

Even more distant scenes from the past that he wanted to completely forget appeared.

A long time ago, there was a person in his family who cared for him and treated him gently like a little white flower.

But... he strangled it with his own hands.

Floyd once again held his head in pain.

Extraordinary people are sometimes "pitiful creatures".

It is "simple" to become a superhuman, all you need to do is possess one superhuman characteristic.

The potion only helps the extraordinary people to have a greater chance of accommodating the extraordinary characteristics and reduce the impact, or pollution, of the extraordinary characteristics on the human spirit.

However, even the most complete and least side-effect-prone potions possessed by the extraordinary people of the Five Gods Sect will have some impact on people's spirit.

This is a must for every extraordinary person.

Either defeat him or be destroyed by him.

A long time ago, Charles had slowly walked to the top of the cliff. If Mernade had not pulled him back, he would probably have a different expression at this moment.

A countenance similar to that of Floys.

He had someone to pull him up, but Floyds had no one who could pull him up at the right time.

The people around him will only gently push him when he faces a choice instead of reaching out to pull him.

“There’s no going back…”

He madly hit the wall beside the alley with his head, and knocked several big holes into it.

There were also streaks of blood on his face.

However, compared to other times when pain could reduce the inner pain, this time it did not have much effect.

On the contrary, the more he hit his head against something, the more his heart ached.

He stretched out his hand and suddenly pulled a student from the alley into the alley.

Floyds put his hands around his neck.

Let's do it...

Just like countless times before...

The blood, the loss of life, that look of despair...can soothe all the pain and emptiness in your heart.

"Do not--"

"don't want--"

He suddenly threw the boy in his hand out of the alley and then ran away quickly.

During the incident, he knocked over several pedestrians and damaged more than a dozen walls.

But compared to before.

For the first time he paused.

For the first time, he overcame the bloodthirsty desire in his heart.

The sunlight was very dazzling, but Floyds couldn't help laughing out loud.

He didn't know how long it had been, but he finally dared to face the dazzling light in the sky again.

On the other side, in the commercial street, Charles showed a slight smile on his face as he looked at the shy Mernadette.

"As expected...Mernadette's smile is the most beautiful."

Hearing his words, the blush on Mernadè's face deepened.

Chapter 98: Mernadè's Hesitation

It's not good to tease too much.

Considering that after the goddess regains her memory, she might hang herself up and beat herself because of some things.

Pinching Melnadette's slightly hot cheek, Charles reluctantly stopped his actions temporarily.

"Are we going back?" Melnadette asked excitedly as she followed Charles to the carriage and looked at the drizzle gradually falling from the sky.

Her hobbies are different from most girls.

Things like shopping, although not torture, made her very uncomfortable.

Especially when the clothes fell on her body piece by piece, the change in Charles' eyes made her feel uncomfortable and shy.

"Of course not." Charles turned around and looked at Mernadette in the carriage with a smile.

"Our new home is about to be completed. We can't maintain such a large estate just by ourselves."

The manor is just a framework, and it is people who keep it running.

Butler, footman, maid, gardener, cook, coachman...

Items like furniture and ponies, Teresa or Endsworth would be happy to give some to Charles.

However, when it comes to the people who run the estate, they don't say too much.

After all, this can easily cause unnecessary trouble and misunderstandings.

"Huh?" Melnadette was a little confused.

"To put it simply, we need to hire some servants and housekeepers today who can take care of you, Lily, and Lorna."

"After all, such a big castle would fall into disrepair very quickly if there are only a few of us."

Hearing his words, Mernadette whispered, "The hygiene and some work at home can be done by me, Lily and Lorna. There is no need to hire anyone else..."

Charles stopped the carriage, turned around and put his hand on Mernadè's shoulder.

"Mernadette, we are family."

Mernadette understood what Charles meant.

but..

Is this kind of life really something I can adapt to and enjoy peacefully?

She was a little hesitant.

"I originally planned to choose a butler and servants in a week."

"But the situation has been a bit bad recently. Choosing the housekeepers and servants earlier and paying them a week's salary earlier may mean a chance for them and their families to survive." Charles showed a gentle smile.

During this period, hiring stewards and servants was, in a sense, a good deed for Charles.

A perfect composite goodness advocated by the Church of the Earth.

Thinking of what she had seen and heard around the welfare home in the past few days, Mernad lowered her head.

In the city, Charles' carriage was moving slowly.

Soon he arrived at his destination, the "Moroston Butlers and Servants Mutual Aid Association" at No. 5 Dondanton Street, Velinsk District.

For a long time, butlers and servants could be considered as private property of their employers. However, since Taylor's ideas spread.

The buyout-type slave contract gradually disappeared from the stage of history, and the employment-type work agreement gradually emerged.

It is worth mentioning that for most servants, they actually miss the old version of the slave contract more.

After all, a work agreement can be terminated at any time, but a slave contract completely ties oneself to the master.

"Good afternoon, ma'am."

At the reception desk, Lina, who was sorting through documents, quickly stood up and bowed to apologize after seeing Charles and Melnadette. "I'm sorry, sir, I didn't notice you coming. Please forgive me."

If it were a year ago, Lina would definitely not be like this now.

However, with the coming of war, she knew she must not lose her current job.

Melnadette hurriedly waved her hands to indicate that she didn't mind. Xia Zeer smiled and nodded, "Don't be nervous."

"Sir, Madam, is there anything I can help you with? What should I call you?" Lina breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Charles didn't seem to blame her for her thoughts.

"Charles Rocks, this is my sister Melnadette." Charles smiled. "My manor has recently been completed, and I'd like to hire a housekeeper and some servants."

"Mr. Rocks, Ms. Mernade, please wait a moment." Lina led the two to the reception area on the side.

Originally there should have been some average quality snacks and tea here.

However, due to the war, these things were replaced, leaving only some white water.

Lina looked at the kettle in front of her somewhat embarrassedly. Charles looked at her with a smile, then took the cup and took a sip.

Her expression relaxed slightly because of Charles's actions. "Mr. Rocks, what kind of butler do you need?"

Generally speaking, if emerging aristocratic merchants and wealthy foreigners want to settle here, the first thing they need to do is to find a housekeeper.

As long as the butler is appointed, the master no longer needs to be personally involved in servant matters.

This is the job of the steward.

"More experience is required. The religious belief is strictly limited to being a member of the Earth Church, and the political inclination needs to be to the New Party."

An experienced steward can allow Ciel to enjoy the harvest with peace of mind.

The limitation of faith is his bottom line as a high priest, and his political inclination is because his current identity is a lecturer at the Royal Academy of Moroston.

This can be said to be the base camp of the new party. Choosing servants and stewards with other party leanings will cause some unnecessary trouble.

"There are not many housekeepers like this. We will do our best to help you find the right person." Lina said as she thought.

There are some butlers who meet the first and third requirements, but Lina doesn’t have much impression of butlers who meet the second condition.

After all, there are not many people who still believe in gods in this era.

Therefore, beliefs are not recorded in the records. Unless someone shows it too obviously, people here generally don't know what their beliefs are.

"The first and third rules can be slightly relaxed, but the second one is a must," said Charles with a smile.

"We will definitely help you check it out." Lina understood what Charles meant.

As she handed the documents to the backstage, she continued to speak to Charles, "Mr. Rocks, as you know, due to the recent situation, most of the butlers and servants are willing to reduce their salaries, or even serve you for free."

"But you need to ensure they and their families have enough food."

Generally speaking, this is a necessary benefit for workers such as butlers and servants.

Not only food, but also rooms, clothes and other necessities will be provided by the owner.

However, as things stand now, this necessary benefit has been gradually cancelled in some families.
